Surrounding Places, Beaches and Attractions

Brittany is a land of festivals, legends, myths, and megaliths. Enjoy the wonderful variety of foods, and the Breton speciality seafood. The Morbihan region is one of the most varied departments in France, with prehistoric monuments and historical towns, beautiful estuaries, creeks and little fishing ports. It boasts fine old chateaux, glorious sandy beaches and islands along the coast and around the Gulf of Morbihan.

So many charming towns to explore! Auray and Vannes are a must with their medieval timber frame houses, cobbled streets, water front restaurants and bars.Josselin is a splendid fortified town which sits astride the canal. Its medieval castle is still lived in by members of the legendary Rohan family.Le Faouët is named after the beech trees that mark the pretty, rural, hilly area around it. Its centre piece is its beautiful 17thC covered market place. Its glorious outlying chapels also made painters flock to it, as is recalled in the museum.

Pont-Aven down on the coast is best known for its association with the post-Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin. This attractive town also has some lovely riverside walks.We often go to Pontivy, Napoleonville, with its medieval old quarter well worth wandering through and along its canal. Quimperle is a delightful old town, also on a river, in fact the confluence of three rivers! Inland and only 30 mins is the beautiful Lac du Guerledan. Lovely walks and picnic spots and a restaurant. if you have a canoe or small boat, you can launch it here.

This region of southern Brittany offers a warmer sunnier climate than the north and is definitely a department with something for everyone. The coast is only 45 mins away and there are numerous small sandy beaches to explore, long expanses of golden sand stretching from Larmor Plage to Guidel Plage, and many smaller beaches and inlets. A few of our favourites are Le Poldou, Raguennes, and Carnac with its world famous standing stones
